What's Black & White and has a Big Smile~~Hambo! WINNER!!

I spent quite a few years in my career taking care of Sisters at their Motherhouse, making sure that they were getting the "gourmet food" treatment in their later years.  It was a joy to be accepted into their Community and their lives and it wasn't unusual to see so many of them with the same big grin on their faces. So when I saw that we were given this great digi to use in this week's challenge, I was thrilled! 
This challenge is pretty simple--it's as they say "Black and White-and to help achieve that is Nun - digital image by Hambo Stamps.
And you get 3 very unique sentiments to use also.  This is the recipe that I used:

• B&W cardstock with a RULER print-need I say more??
• B&W Grunge style paper with printed white flowers- I fancy cut 2 additional layers of petals so that I could layer and curl on top of each other, 1 has a button w/ butcher's twine, the other has a large polka dot brad in the center
• added the birthday sentiment and fancy print bow
• and of course the digi image

This brought back many wonderful memories of fun times and many friendships..a happy time in my past life as a Food Service Director.  I think I will also show you the OTHER card that I had made before I realized that there was the additional challenge of using only black and white....I'm planning on sending this to a very dear friend of mine-often we do things strangely very much alike!  I know the nuns would have approved of all the colors.  Hardly any of them wear the habits anymore and love color in their daily wear.

So glad you stopped by for a visit and hope you will sign in as a follower!  Be watching for something exciting happening here tomorrow morning!  I can't wait to share!
